Herremans Doesn’t Want to Rush Back and Re-Injure Foot

There’s really only one thing keeping Eagles guard Todd Herremans from returning in time to play the Redskins on Oct. 26: the scooter he had to use for weeks as he recovered from foot surgery. “I want to play really bad, but at the same time, that doesn’t outweigh my hatred for that scooter,” Herremans said of the contraption that allowed his left foot to be elevated. “I don’t want to be back on that for another six to eight weeks. I’m not going to push myself to the point where I can come back for one week and be out for another eight.” Herremans, who hasn’t played all season after he suffered a stress fracture during training camp, returned to practice this week but has participated only in noncontact individual drills with offensive line coach Juan Castillo.
